Greetings Morgan Church of the Nazarene!
Sunday was a great day to be together! We had a great day celebrating God's goodness, hearing testimonies of God's faithfulness, and worshipping the Lord together. Thank you for being part of such a great day! And a special word of Thanks to Michelle Christensen and Courtney Fickess (and their crew) for all their extra work getting the meal organized.
This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. The church has purchased daily devotional books in both English and Spanish (make sure you pay attention to which one you pick up!). The preaching and the POINT Groups will be going along with the devotional book for these next four weeks. You can pick up a book in the foyer. For these four Sundays, we will have a Young Adult POINT Group meeting as well in the newly-painted room past the nursery.
Just a reminder that the church office is officially closed for the rest of this week, but I am available by cell (815-549-0706) or email if I'm not at the church.

Prayer: an excerpt from the book, With Open Hands, by Henri Nouwen, found in The Only Necessary Thing, pg 206
Dear God, I am so afraid to open my clenched fists! Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to? Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands? Please help me to gradually open my hands and to discover that I am not what I own, but what you want to give me. And what you want to give me is love, unconditional, everlasting love. Amen.
